Campgrounds near Wewahitchka
Wewahitchka sits in Gulf County, Florida, about 20 minutes north of Port St. Joe and roughly 30 minutes from the Gulf beaches at Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas. The town anchors the Dead Lakes, a broad expanse of tannic water and standing cypress trunks along the Chipola and Apalachicola river systems. It works well as a base for RV travelers who want quiet inland camping with quick access to the coast.
Dead Lakes RV Park & Campground is the closest option, set on the water with paved and gravel sites, 20, 30, and 50 amp hookups, and boat access to the Dead Lakes. Old Salt RV Park and Aqua Bay RV Park LLC give travelers additional inland options near town.
Closer to the Gulf, El Governor RV Park sits near Mexico Beach and Port Saint Joe RV Resort places rigs within reach of St. Joseph Bay, Cape San Blas, and the beach at Port St. Joe. The mix of freshwater and saltwater destinations makes short day trips easy from any of these parks.
Things to do around Wewahitchka
Paddling and fishing drive most trips. The Dead Lakes maze of cypress and tupelo swamp is one of the more unusual paddling routes in Florida, and anglers target bream, shellcracker, and bass in spring. Gulf County's park at Dead Lakes has a boat ramp, fishing pier, playground, and picnic pavilions for day use.
From town, families can drive to Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe for swimming, shelling, and flats fishing on St. Joseph Bay. Cape San Blas offers dog-friendly stretches of beach not found at Mexico Beach itself.
The Tupelo Honey Festival runs on the third Saturday in May at Lake Alice Park in Wewahitchka, with local honey vendors, live music, food trucks, and arts and crafts booths. Wewahitchka has long been marketed as the tupelo honey capital, harvested from white tupelo blooms along the Apalachicola River during a short spring window.

How to book a campsite near Wewahitchka
Private RV parks in and around Wewahitchka handle their own bookings. Dead Lakes RV Park & Campground, Old Salt RV Park, Aqua Bay RV Park LLC, El Governor RV Park, and Port Saint Joe RV Resort all take reservations directly by phone or through their websites, and several list on aggregator platforms as well.
For the nearby Florida State Park system, including T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park down the coast, sites are booked through the Florida State Parks reservation website. Florida residents can reserve up to 11 months in advance, while non-residents can book up to 10 months in advance, with payment charged in full at booking and a non-refundable reservation fee added.
For peak coastal weekends and the Tupelo Honey Festival in May, book several weeks to several months in advance. Shoulder-season midweek stays are usually easier to secure.
What to expect on-site
Most inland sites around Wewahitchka are open and sunny with limited shade. Dead Lakes RV Park & Campground offers water and electric hookups with 20, 30, and 50 amp service, sewer at select sites, a store with bait and tackle, laundry, restrooms with showers, a dump station, and Wi-Fi near the store.
Wildlife is part of the experience. Deer, raccoons, turtles, snakes, and alligators live in the Dead Lakes area, so secure food and keep pets leashed. Mosquitoes and biting flies are heavy in summer, so bring repellent.
Coastal parks near Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach add sea breeze, salt air, and easier beach access, but sites there fill fastest in spring and fall.
